Anthony Davis went off tonight against the Phoenix Suns. This is the first game he’s had since he’s been back where he’s been truly dominant scoring over 40 points and shooting nearly 50% from the field in the Lakers win. Granted the Suns aren’t the biggest team to match up against AD, the stats are impressive nonetheless.

Right, his biggest game so far since he comeback from that injury. The Lakers are in a needed win situation and AD deliver for them.

How about Luka's being ejected for hitting Sexton on the groin?

I can't criticize Luka here, he is just responding to the physicality of the game, and I like that because as a star player, that means he is not soft. Anyway, it still doesn't matter as the Mavericks still have dominated the Cavaliers in that game.

Why should this work differently in sports betting where the outcome is random (albeit predictable) and the bookmaker has the same advantage as the casino?

Yeah, the average sports bettor, just like the average casino gambler, faces a mathematical disadvantage. Unlike casino games, the outcome in sports matches is not entirely random. With that in mind, even though the oddsmakers are very good at setting point spreads, they are not always right. These facts give an advantage to experienced gamblers in sports betting.


Oddsmaker does not choose which team will win, so saying they could be right or wrong does not make sense. We, the bettors are the ones who will decide, so we are the ones who will make a right or wrong decision. Also, we have to understand that oddsmaker could move the line to make a balance action, as their main intention is to make the sportsbook profitable from juice coming from the winning bets.

Funny thing about this brawl between Mayweather and Paul is that Conor McGregor crawled out from some hole to say that what happened is embarrassing.
Imagine him saying that after all what he did before his fights including incident with Khabib and breaking bus window full of fighters Smiley
Maybe Conor just misses some attention and he want's to try boxing again.
He had his chance, if he only beat his opponent in his last fight, then maybe he was already fighting Pacman now. He is done, he is not making millions in boxing if he can't win in his own sport, his popularity is going down, that's what I'm seeing.

Why KYC is necessary, airdrop like this would usually end up in a scam. Be careful on giving your personal information, you don't want to see your identity being stolen because it was sold in the dark market since you give you real info in exchange for a scam token or coin.

Crypto is a high risk for a reason, you should be aware of that.
2905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Elon Musk's goal with Dogecoin? on: May 07, 2021, 01:17:42 PM
Do you think he does it because he wants to make money? Do you think he speculates with Dogecoin?
He is the richest in the world, though he has a lot of money rich people will never be contented as they want more.
IMO, this is what Elon is currently doing, he is trying to increase his stash in crypto or in fiat, we don't know but his purpose is just to be profitable.

I am wondering if he will keep tweeting about it after the bull market is over.
No, the bull market will not last a long period of time, he is just taking advantage of the FOMO and the market hype, he is wise but if we are not, then we will end up a bag holder of DOGE.
2906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Path to altseason. on: May 07, 2021, 12:25:36 PM
I think we are not yet in phase 4. We should see shitcoins already pumped when that stage comes, but I doubt we will ever see that as the ICO craze is gone, investors would prefer to trade on an exchange with good volume, that's why low cap altcoins will never have a chance in this bullish run.

We are in the utimate stage already, we should not expect a new stage and from here, we should be careful as the market is now heavily pumped, expect the opposite side also which we called the correction.
2907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 07, 2021, 11:59:33 AM
I am for John Riel Casimero in this match. I would have easily chosen Guillermo Rigondeaux had this fight been staged during his peak. I was a fan of this guy's unbelievable speed even though I still find many of his fights a little boring. But he's an old man now.

The last time I saw Rigondeaux fight was when he was defeated by Loma. I know he scored a couple of knockout wins later on but I don't think he still got it. Casimero, on the other hand, is on a KO streak since 2018.

That's a good point, Casimero is one of the hottest boxers now, an underrated boxer but could win against a champion. I would also pick him in this fight, no doubt he could win and might win a KO here. The last loss of Rigondeaux was  TKO because he did not continue, this could be his 2nd KO, but hopefully not in a manner he lost against Loma.

We expect a good fight, Casimero had a tougher challenge compared to Inoue... This is a statement that Casimero is not afraid of anyone, besides he is not undefeated so there's nothing to be worried about, being a great boxer does not automatically mean you are undefeated, for me, you are called great if you are exciting to watch, that's why people choose Pacquiao vs Mayweather.

Even though he is not undefeated, this fight is still very important to him, because if he lose, his popularity will drop and he will not line up a big fight. On the other hand, if he will win, he could push to continue the hype until Inoue will give him the fight he is asking for a long period of time already.

Hotbit.io is a great exchange for trading alts. They got new coins listed all the time. Just becarefull selling because the sell price is way above market prices. Even the exchange coin htb is goin to sky rocket. People will be trading this platform. It's so easy.

Hotbit has just been attacked by irresponsible people, and the team is taking a long time to fix this situation. Based on information from their website, it took the team 7 days to fix this condition. Even though the user's asset is safe, but in terms of daily trading, the user is already at a loss. We hope that this can be handled soon.

It looks like it's already over 7 days and they are still not back into operation.

There is the only update I read about the exchange.
https://hotbit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008915521-

I'm afraid, they'll face more trouble if they'll not be back soon, their reputation is already at stake here.
2909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 07, 2021, 06:44:53 AM
Cousins is giving it to the Lakers right now. I think he’s showing them what they passed up on. He’s making Montrez Harrell (who makes a lot more money) look like a college kid out there. Rondo looks to be getting himself some revenge as well. I was hoping LeBron would be playing but I guess they’re still letting him sit during the tough games until he’s closer to full strength.
Only only played few minutes in this game, https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/player.php?id=3297
Injury has really become a big problem for the Lakers, they again lose and they slide in ranking now.

The number 1 team in the West is now at rank number 6, tied with the Blazers on record.
I feel too bad for the Lakers, hopefully, Lebron will come back healthy soon.
2910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao offered $10 million to fight Terence Crawford on: May 06, 2021, 09:40:32 PM
Mayweather is retired, while Pacman is still active, so most likely the favorite will be Pacman.

Most probably, but I'd love to see fair odds so it would attract both fighters easily.
We have a huge fan base for Mayweather and Pacquiao and definitely, people will take about this rematch.

No fight for Manny this year against Spence Jr. and Crawford, then he should go for a bigger fight if he is aiming to retire soon, to focus on his political dreams. it's been in the news that he will run for the presidency in the Philippines, that alone requires money, time, and effort, he will have no time in boxing anymore once the campaign starts.
2911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: May 06, 2021, 09:30:19 PM
We will see again another great fight between these two fighters Canelo Alvarez and BJS or what we called Billy Joe Saunders. We can call these two as one of the good fighters of the century especially with Canelo whom I've watch several good fights and also BJS who has a good body built. These two fighters respect each other in which on the initial interview they admit that it will be a great and good match for their career as they feel the eager to win the belt and title.

I liked to see it as that means they are focus and well prepared for this fight. Maybe it's not the biggest fight of Canelo as in this fight, Canelo is expected to win and he is a heavy favorite, but the fact that he respected his opponent, simply means that he will not take this fight lightly.
2912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An obvious rigging of Sports. on: May 06, 2021, 09:09:38 PM
Checkout the Serbian leagues.First and Second. Both leagues in the end just fixing match especially those fighting for relegation.Uefa sended so many reports even some teams lost points.Too easy now to predict wins in this league because only thing you should do is bet on the teams fighting for survival
That's the advantage for bettors who understands what is happening, but for the fans, they might feel different if they know that the sports they love are being rigged, this should stop, this should be a serious criminal offense so it will not be easily done by these corrupt players and officials.
2913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders - May 8 on: May 06, 2021, 01:38:56 PM
Can't wait to see them back on ring, and to win on my bet.  Cheesy

They will fight on the scheduled date, you might win for betting on Canelo but you will not get good odds unless you'll bet on him to win by KO and that will be the result. I'm now looking for good odds, trying to analyze it a bit so if I win, I would be satisfied, Canelo by KO is just one but I also consider betting on the opposite side, you know the odds for the upset win is just too attractive.

"The Dogefather
SNL May 8"


Really? When we were first using Dogecoin in 2013 this guy had no idea about it and now he calls himself the Dogefather just because he is rich and bought tons? It's all market manipulation folks, wake up! The only Dogefather is Jackson Palmer the guy who created the coin.

With his "smart" tweets he controls the price and newbies are falling into this trap! I don't know about you but I'm very disappointed. He's probably using Dogecoin to increase his BTC capital.

Remember, 98 addresses control > 67% of all Dogecoins. Dogecoin has become what it is, a joke coin.
I'll support you. Too harsh and loud a statement, even from a man like Elon Musk. He manipulates the coin as he wants with just a tweet.
I would always remember this information, I believe it's just all manipulation and we are in the worst situation now compared to the last bull run, so expect a heavy correction after this. FOMO is happening, everyone is riding on the FOMO, that's a bad thing as the newbies will certainly learn the hard way.

~ The rigging and the corruption will not just happen in the low-level games because, in a high-level game, those things can happen without us know for sure, especially if many people contribute to that games.
~

That's what we are talking about here: it becomes less and less possible to rig a game, especially if it's a high level game with many people watching it. Athletes are not film actors: they can play with all their strength to win, but if they told otherwise, it's hard for them to make it look natural.
No, it's still possible to rig games, it doesn't mean they have to play the rigging game in the whole game, there's a lot of way of rigging games, a prop bet is one. A player bet like 20 points over/ under, a certain player can intentionally not make 20 points or more, just to win a certain bet.

People who often commit corruption will not think of being honest because they feel comfortable doing that thing many times and will not stop before getting caught.

And if an event is watched by millions, the probability of getting caught is very high. The first time they try cheating can easily be the last.
More involve in rigging, the higher the chance they are caught, that's what I believe.
2917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 06, 2021, 08:38:18 AM
I still don't see them as a Finals contender but I believed soon, they will be rebranded into Mavericks' 2011 championship roster and Luka will get his first ring.
No one really can foretold about this young gun's journey but I believe he can do it, we've seen him breaking records after records and just a matter of time that he'll be getting that ring. He's still young and if I were him I'd take this trial of times as a gradual process for his development throughout the league, I believe he'll find the right team that will lead him onto that ring.
So far Luka's path to NBA greatness is already there, he just needed a ring. And probably him and KP are not a good tandem in my opinion and they need at least another good player to compliment them. Maybe Tim Hardaway Jr could be a perfect fit, but we will have to see how he will perform in the playoffs. I don't think that they can reach even the Western Conference finals, but this will be a good experience for the time and probably will have to chance and shake things up next year with a upgrade.
You have to believe in surprises so you will believe that Mavericks has a chance to be in the Western Conference finals, this team is not proven yet in the playoffs, but the way they are playing, they are not the type of team that will do an early exit, they are more than that, so just believe and trust them.
2918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021 on: May 05, 2021, 02:51:00 AM
I thought that Casimero vs Inoue will happen this year, perhaps we need to wait till the covid-19 pandemic is over next year.
There's no rumor on that, the supposed to be the fight of Inoue and Casimero was already canceled, after that, they have their fights and have won them.

As for this fight, good tune up for Casimero but he needs to focus and not looking over Rigo and think about Inoue fight in the future. I think Rigo even at 40 years old is still very dangerous, his straight hand is underrated, but this will be his main weapon and then his superb defense skills. Casimero will be the favorite and i do hope that there will be no upset or Rigo derailings Casimero vs Inoue.
For me this is not just a tune-up, this is a serious fight that could be as serious as Inoue, if Inoue and Rigondeaux will fight, I think the odds will also be close as Rigondeaux is a legit opponent, once a champion and he would always have that heart of a champion.
2919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 05, 2021, 02:13:24 AM
- or be more consistent if he will get a max salary which is a security for him.

- but that's how I observe on the players now, they are playing smart for the purpose of making a secure future in the NBA.

If it's about securing the future then I think these players should do their best now while working on being play safe. If they are seen as inconsistent by others teams, the offer maybe less, or trade value will be lessened. Targeting a max contract offer can only be considered if Kuzma's explosiveness is consistent.

I think Kuzma is not thinking about that. He is just really inconsistent and I agree with what others are saying here.
Yes, stats sheets shows it.
He ain't like Draymond Green where most of his moves doesn't record in stats. Boxing out and good defense.
There's just no fire with this kid. Off nights are supposed to be like 1/5 games or 10 games. But with him its like 3/6 games which is not a good percentage.
He's a good shooter and also a big man, creating shots will be an easy task when you have that length advantage.
Rookie years is over, he needs to step up more whenever he consumes minutes.

Yes, there's a lot of hype with Kuzma, remember that he wasn't included in the trading block when they got Lebron James, so the Lakers have a lot of faith in this kid. However, it seems that he can't get over and jump to the next level.

Notice that when he plays and the other team defensive players check his moves, like if he penetrates and gets block, he seems to get out of rhythm already. So it's more of a mental game for this kid, he has the talents no doubt, but if his mind is not in synch, there are days that he can't really or have difficulty adjusting his game.

We would know if he is really good once he is traded and will be a big contributor to the recipient team, for now, let's just enjoy what we are seeing, we might a little frustrated especially if we are a Laker fan, but we have to understand that Kuzma was a big contributor during the NBA Finals where Lakers won.
2920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 04, 2021, 09:54:06 PM
Where is Kuzma? 31 minutes 6 points. This should be the time where he could shine most while Lebron is still resting. He had his minutes and was good against the Raptors. No consistency.

I've pointed that out before. Kuzma is not consistent with his numbers.

Others saying it's because he was outshined with LeBron and AD but now looked, both these guys rested at quite a long period but never seen a consistent Kuzma although, at some games, he was able to produce good numbers (again, but not consistent). Another reason is, he's not receiving a good playing time but checking their previous games, he was averaging 28-30 minutes per game which is enough time to show some explosiveness.

Playing 4 seasons on the Lakers now, he should be aggressive by now but we don't see it yet. Still hoping he will make up to his word before that he's the number 3 on the Lakers.

I guess his problem starts when he was injured, he may be playing safe now since he doesn't want to take the risk of ending his career early. The fact that he explodes anytime, means he has the talent, and he can unleash that or be more consistent if he will get a max salary which is a security for him.

All of what I'm saying is just my own opinion though, but that's how I observe on the players now, they are playing smart for the purpose of making a secure future in the NBA.
